1. Introduction
----====----
Well, I am about to embark upon writing my 1st walkthrough ever :)
This guide will probably not go in depth about where to pick up every
blob in the game, but the 1st version will be a guide to quickly get
from A to B. Later versions, once the main walkthrough is complete,
will be re-iterated in more depth to include the location of the rest
of the Locos
As it stands, this walkthrough is currently in its very bare bones,
but will be updated regularly until the main game walkthrough is
complete, and any additions thereafter.
In this walkthrough, I will be using 'Large Loco' for the term when
all your Locos are joined together, 'Locos' for the little Locos, e.g
When the large Loco is split up, and 'Bud' for the flower heads that
give you an extra Loco.
You can use ctrl+F to quickly navigate to any level using the
character codes in the [ ] above. The World Map appears after every
level, so I will omit it from this guide after the 1st instance.

2. Walkthrough
----====----
[+W1L1] Level 1:
When you 1st start the game, Muimui, the Locos friend, will greet you
and tell you the basics of the game, such as eat more red buds to
get more Locos. If you stand still, he will run through the controls
with you.
Before you start rolling through the level, take a moment to
familiarize yourself with the controls, and how tilting the level
works. Also, try jumping, by holding both the shoulder buttons.
These are basically the controls to the game (Apart from using O to
split apart/rejoin your Locos).
Once you are ready, begin by pressing R to tilt the stage to the
right, and begin your epic quest :) After rolling for a bit, you will
encounter a drop with little fireflies. These gain you points for the
level, and you cash them in for a go with the mini games.
Drop down the slope to follow the level around, and you will find a
bud. As mentioned before, this gives you will an extra Loco (And the
level is already different to the demo :P). You will see 3 extra buds
to the right, so you will have to jump up the mound to get them. As
you roll down the slope and under the suspended circle of ground above
you (Back near the beginning), you will notice it sparkle, and it
will produce a sprout. Now, if you go back and jump into the sprout,
it will grow a bud. Another Loco!
At this initial point, you should have 6 Locos. Time to carry on :P
You will see a bud rotating on some floating earth, so jump into
it to get an extra Loco. You can also grow 2 more by touching the 2
sprouts also rotating around (9 Locos).
Jump over the large mound to get some fireflies, and 2 more Locos,
now follow the path around and you will drop down, and your large
Loco will get stuck :( At this point, Muimui pops up and says 'Give
the circle button a quick press!', so lets try that.
Zing! Your large Loco splits up into a bunch of little ones, and they
can fit through the gap. Remember that. At the bottom of the 'pipe',
we see Muimui again, saying this time to hold the circle button. Lets
try that.
Ooooo, the earth starts to shake (O_O) and your Locos join together
again :) Lets proceed.
Do a little bounce over the mound, and follow the path to pick up 3
buds. You will land on a purple flower, and then you will jump to the
next one. If you fall through the gap in the flowers, you can roll
back to the beginning and start again if you want the extra Locos
from the buds in the air, of which there are 3 :)
Follow the level to the right to see Muimui. Well, it's actually
one of his friends, as the real thing pops up and says 'Find my
friends and something nice will happen!'. Then you will be given a
Loco house part :) Press X and get the bud to the right. You will
see the obstruction to the path below has now lowered, and you can
pass underneath now. However, before we do that, we want to go all
the way back to the left, back to under the 1st large purple flower.
Under this flower, jump to the left and push towards the wall, and
you go through it and into a secret area! If you have collected all
18 Locos so far, you will be able to use your weight to push down the
switch and get another of Muimui's friends, winning you another house
part. Now, go back to the right and continue the path.
You will be able to collect more fireflies, and fall onto some kind
of grill, preventing you from proceeding. You know what to do here,
press the O button! You will fall through a mess of rotating flower
heads, and pick up more fireflies. Now, hold circle and rejoin your
Locos.
Jump a few mounds to the right, and you can collect another bud. When
you jump from this mound, try to practice collecting all the
fireflies and perfecting your jumping, it's not as simple as it seems
:)
You will plummet downwards, and see a pit of spikes. Are your Locos
doomed already? Turns out they aren't as a gust of wind miraculously
saves you, and splits up your large Loco and carries you in its path,
netting you many fireflies on the way. Let the wind run its course,
and rejoin your Locos at the end. Hop along the mounds, and down the
drop, and you will fall into a pit. What's this? Your large Loco
keeps splitting up, and rejoining does nothing? Muimui pops up and
says 'Just stay put for a while?', so wait a few moments.
A tree sprouts up, and you've finished the level! 19/20 Locos,
not bad :)
You will be transported to the world map.
------------------
[+World]:
Here, you can press start to save. Go for it.
You can use the D-pad to move the butterfly along levels, the
majority of which you can't play yet, and you can replay the 1st
level if you like. Anyway, select the 2nd level.
------------------
[+W1L2] Level 2:
Immediately when you start, roll to the right and get the bud. Now,
jump onto the mound of earth above you and climb it to the top. You
will fall into another secret, rescue one of Muimuis friends, and get
another house part :) Jump out of the secret to continue the level,
and climb the right side to get a series of buds and fireflies.
Go down the gentle slope to the right, and you will drop into an
'S bend' area, with more buds and fireflies. Collect them all, and
after this carry on to the right to get another bud.
A grating part! Know what to do? Do it and fall through here. Rejoin
at the bottom, get the bud and slope right. Here, you will see your
first nasty spikey thing! Avoid it, because it cuts 1 Loco off you
and you have to retrieve it, holding O won't do. Get the bud next to
it by jumping, and jump to the right to get the bud on the raised
mound. From here, you can jump on top of the island with the
spikeball, and touch the sprout to grow another bud, and gain a Loco.
Jump back down, and over the mound to drop down. Jump over the next
mound to get a bud. Wait here, and a big red face thing will appear
in the ground, and lift you up to collect all the fireflies, and onto
the next part of the level. Jump to the right once you have stopped
rising. Jump over the next mound.
Once you hit the floor, it will crack but you will be stuck. Jump
again to crack it some more, and it will break after 2 more jumps, so
you can proceed. The same thing applied to the right, except it is
above you this time, so jump into it 3 times to smash it. You can
get another Muimui/housepart here. Jump over the mound and onto the
elastic. Straighten the level up, and jump. You will be propelled
into the air, and into an air current. Let it flow, pass through the
pinball area and rejoin at the bottom. Get the bud to the right, and
smash the wall above this bud to get 5 more Locos (18). Bounce back
out and to the right, to encounter a sleeping obstruction, and stay
put. The noise of all the little Locos wakes it up, and it goes
underground for you :)
Rejoin, get the bud and proceed right. Jump over the spinning wheels
and down the hole. You will zoom down the slope, and eventually over
the edge and down. There are orange fireflies here, that are bigger
and worth more. Collect them, jump over the ledge, and into a cleared
stage, 19/20 Locos again, so close :P
------------------
World:
Save. Select the 3rd level
------------------
[+W1L3] Level 3:
You begin the level by falling down a twisty pip, then your descent
is slowed by some roots. On the floor, jump to the left and through
the wall. Here there are fireflies to get. Get them all, and go back
to the start of the level, and carry on to the right. Get the 4 buds,
and drop into the grill. The Large blob fits through here, and you
do not have to separate your Locos. When falling, try to keep to the
center and partly to the right, and you will land on top of a bud.
From this bud, you will see another below you and slightly to the
right, so fall onto it. Continue falling right to land on a ledge.
Here there is a monster that picks your large Loco up, and can
instantly eat 1 of your Locos, and you can't get it back. However, it
can be killed by a well timed jump underneath it, and jumping as soon
as it grabs you. There is also an evil green owl, which can also be
killed by jumping underneath it. The owl continuously spawns spikey
balls, knocking your Loco apart. Keep going to the right to get a
bud, and go back to the grill.
In the grill, fall straight down to get a bud from one of the rocks,
and then on the floor go left, follow the fireflies to get to a bud.
At this point, if you have 10 Locos, you can continue left and wait
under the 5 clouds. They will join together and form a ledge for your
large Loco to sit on. The clouds will take you to a house part.
Jump back to the floor, and pass under the ledge to the right. Jump
over the spike on the floor, and when you see a bud in the chamber
above you, jump at the roof 3 times to smash it and get the bud.
After this, you can either go down under another ledge, or jump onto
a ledge that seeming doesn't go anywhere. Wrong! It leads to a secret
area, with 3 shadow monsters and 2 spikes. Avoid them all to get more
fireflies and a house part at the end.
Go back, and drop under the ledge, and continue right. Drop down the
hole to land on some pivots. Careful rotating of the level and
jumping here will net you some fireflies. There is also a bud on the
end of a center pivot, so grab it.
Once you reach the floor, continue right and drop down a shaft. There
are roots here again to slow your fall. AT the bottom, stand on top
of the seeds and your large Loco will eat them. Jump the mound to the
right to get a bud, and continue. Here, you will see a creature with
a large nose, capable of launching you upwards, so jump on the nose
and his head will start to rotate. Once it is in line with the bud
on the ledge above you, press L and R together to be launched towards
it. Hopefully you will get the bud and land on the ledge. Continue
right to a thin shaft, and split up your Locos.
At the bottom, jump to the right, and wait. The tree will grow, and
you have finished the level :) (14/20)

World:
Save. Select the 4th level (My favourite level of world 1 :P)
------------------
[+W1L4] Level 4:
This level is meant to represent ice, so everything is really slippy
meaning it is easy to pick up speed. Once you begin the level, you
will land in a little 'U' shaped holder, and you should jump to the
right. You will slide down the ramp and collect a bud, and be rolled
under the bend. After the 1st few curves, there is a bud on the
ceiling, so prepare a jump to get it as you roll under it, or you
will have to go back for it.
Continue onwards, and you will be thrown into the air, around an
S-bend and onto a flat. Notice on the 2nd jump that there was a
sprout, and to get it you have to begin a rocking motion using the
ramp to the right, and the natural curve where the sprout is. When
rolling up the ramp, try to set it up so you fall vertically
downwards and roll back to the left with maximum speed. This should
get you up to touch the sprout to get it to grow, and you will have
to go back to get the bud.
After getting this bud, go back to the ramp. There is a bud directly
above the center of the ramp, and a well timed, fast jump will net
it. Continue to the right, and there is a bud on the floor right in
front of you. Continue, and you will fall into a U-bend, with an
orange firefly and a bud on either side. This is similar to the ramp
usage a moment ago, but in a much smaller area. Use it to get enough
speed and height to get both, and try to land on the patch of land
above the bud. Here, there are a series of jumps, made harder by the
slipperyness of the ice as you cannot stop easily and correct
yourself. Avoid the spikes and make the jumps to the right to get
some fireflies, and you should fall into a U bend with enough speed
to get the bud in an alcove above you.
On the way back from getting this bud, jump high to get caught in an
air current, leading to a house part, and jump right again to fall
back to where we began a bit ago :)
Go right, and split up your large Loco to fit through the hole and
slide around a bit :P At the bottom of the course, re-join and jump
left, and wait for the rotating ring to have a missing segment for
you to fall into. Roll all the way around to get the fireflies and a
bud. Take the left exit and get the bud, and then go back into the
ring and take the right exit.
You will fall into another swirly bit. When this area is done, you
will drop onto an area with an upcurrent, keeping you afloat. Move
to the left and pass through the wall to uncover a secret area with a
bud in it. Go back right.
Float into the bud on the ceiling, and then go into the alcove next
to it and touch the sprout to grow another bud. Continue right, and
avoid the monster. When you reach the ledge, jump to the right, and
you will land on a pivot. Get the bud above this, and manipulate the
pivot to allow you to roll up it and jump into the area with another
bud. When here, jump to the wall with areas missing to pass into a
secret area.
Here, there is a section of jumps with spikes dotted around. Complete
the jumps to reach a house part, and pick up a bud on the way. Go
back to the pivot area, and drop down to the floor below it. Split
up the Loco to fall, rejoin at the bottom and go right to meet some
worm things. If you have more than 5 Locos at this point, you will
be given a house part. Rejoin, and roll in the grass to reveal an
orange firefly, and drop to the right.
In this next section, the ground squashes below you. Move all the way
to the left, and lower to the floor. Go right, but keep as low as
possible to get all the fireflies, and to eventually get a bud at
the end. Jump out, go right and fall into the bend that throws you
out at the end of the level :)
